Getting the most out of Homebrew?

I recently just bought a Wii, partly because i am interested in messing with stuff so i got straight on with a Homebrew. Everything seems successful i have the homebrew channela and have also set it up to play back ups.

Apart from the backups i'm pretty disapointed. I don't think i've found anything of interest.
-Playing DVDs on the Wii is too loud.. when the fan and cd are going crazy it's annoying to sit and watch a movie.

So what do you do to get the most out of your Wii Homebrew? any recommendations? games?

How well do the emulators work, is it worth buying the N64 games from Virtual Console or does the emulator work just as well? what about the Genesis and SNES emus?

Also, is there anyway to get Goldeneye on the Wii? in anyway shape or form, that's playable... i'm highly dissapointed to see that it's missing
